We’ve already heard a number of times that the refurbished Galaxy Note 7 will launch as Galaxy Note 7R with a smaller battery. However, a new report suggests otherwise.
According to a new rumor surfacing from the company’s home country, the refurbished Note 7 is expected to launch with Galaxy Note FE moniker in the coming weeks.
What Does “FE” Stand For?
“FE” stands for Fans Edition, which implies that the company aims to target hardcore Galaxy Note 7 fans in the markets where it plans to launch the device. This move is seen as a way to regain the trust and loyalty of its dedicated user base after the unfortunate battery issues that plagued the original Galaxy Note 7. By branding it as the Fans Edition, Samsung is making a clear statement that this device is for those who loved the original Note 7 but were disappointed by its early demise.
Specifications and Features
The device has already passed through various certification bodies, which suggests that we may get to see the handset hit retail very soon. Rumors suggest that it will launch by the end of June. The handset is expected to come with a similar set of specifications to the original Note 7, but with one significant change on board: a smaller battery.
The original Galaxy Note 7 came with a 3,500 mAh battery, which was one of the main reasons for its overheating issues. To address this, the refurbished Galaxy Note FE is rumored to come with a smaller 3,200 mAh battery. This reduction in battery size is expected to mitigate the overheating problems while still providing ample battery life for daily use.
In terms of other specifications, the Galaxy Note FE is expected to retain the same high-end features that made the original Note 7 popular. This includes a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 8890 or Snapdragon 820 processor (depending on the region), 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage with microSD support. The device is also expected to feature the same 12MP rear camera and 5MP front camera, ensuring that photography enthusiasts will not be disappointed.
Additionally, the Galaxy Note FE is likely to come with the S Pen, a signature feature of the Note series, which offers a range of productivity tools and features that set it apart from other smartphones on the market. The S Pen allows users to take notes, draw, and interact with the device in unique ways, making it a favorite among professionals and creatives alike.
Market Availability and Pricing
While the exact markets where the Galaxy Note FE will be available have not been confirmed, it is expected to launch in select regions where the demand for the Note series is particularly strong. This could include countries in Asia, Europe, and possibly North America. The pricing of the Galaxy Note FE is also yet to be announced, but it is expected to be more affordable than the original Note 7, making it an attractive option for those who want a high-end device without breaking the bank.
